2 Power Quality (PQ) The term electric power quality broadly refers to maintaining a near sinusoidal power distribution bus voltage at rated magnitude and frequency. In addition, the energy supplied to a customer must be uninterrupted from the reliability point of view. It is to be noted that even though power quality (PQ) is mainly a distribution system problem, power transmission systems may also have an impact on the quality of power. 153
3 Causes of PQ Deterioration They can be divided into two categories. Natural Causes: Faults or lighting strikes on transmission lines or distribution feeders, falling of trees or branches on distribution feeders during stormy conditions, equipment failure etc. Due to Load or Transmission Line/Feeder Operation: Transformer energization, capacitor or feeder switching, power electronic loads (UPS, ASD, converters etc.), arc furnaces and induction heating systems, switching on or off of large loads etc. 154
4 PQ Problems and Causes 155
5 PQ Problems and Causes 156
6 PQ Standards 157
7 PQ Monitoring Power quality variations are classified as either disturbances or steady state variations. Disturbances pertain to abnormalities in the system voltages or currents due to fault or some abnormal operations. Steady state variations refer to rms deviations from the nominal quantities or harmonics. Power quality variations are monitored by disturbance analyzers, voltage recorders, harmonic analyzers etc. 158
8 PQ Monitoring The input data for any power quality monitoring device is obtained through transducers like CT, PT, Hall-effect transducers etc. Disturbance analyzers and disturbance monitors are instruments that are specifically designed for power quality measurements. There are two categories of these devices conventional analyzers and graphics- based analyzers. 159
9 PQ Monitoring Conventional analyzers provide information like magnitude and duration of sag/swells, under/overvoltages etc. Graphic-based analyzers are equipped with memory such that the real-time data can be saved. The advantage of this device is that the saved data can be analyzed later to determine the source and cause of the power quality problems. These analyzers can also graphically present the real-time data. 160
10 PQ Monitoring Harmonic data are analyzed with the help of DSP-based harmonic or spectrum analyzers. They can perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) by sampling real-time data. These analyzers can simultaneously measure the voltage and currents such that harmonic power can be computed. They can also sample the signals at a very high rate such that harmonics up to about 50 th order can be determined. 161
11 PQ Monitoring Flicker monitoring is done through IEC flickermeter. These meters measure the instantaneous flickering voltage. This is called the instantaneous flicker level (IFL). The recorded IFL is then stored and statistical operations on these data are performed to determine short term (10 min) flicker severity index and long term flicker severity index. 162
12 PQ Terms and Definitions Transients Short duration voltage variations Long duration voltage variations Voltage imbalance Waveform distortions Voltage fluctuations Power frequency variations 163
13 Transients Transients are of two types impulsive and oscillatory transients. Impulsive transients like lightning are unipolar in nature. Oscillatory transients are bipolar and are caused by transformer energization, capacitor or converter switching etc. 164
14 Short Duration Voltage Variations Voltage sag is a fundamental frequency decrease in the supply voltage for a short duration (5 cycles to one minute). Voltage swell is defined as the increase of fundamental frequency voltage for a short duration. An interruption occurs when the supply voltage (or load current) decreases to less than 0.1 per unit for a period of time not exceeding 1 minute. 165
15 Voltage Sag, Swell & Interruption 166
16 Example of Sag and Swell A 1LG fault is created at 0.04 s in Feeder-1. While phase-a a voltage sags, the other two phases swells. 167
17 Long Duration Voltage Variations These are the rms variations in the supply voltage at fundamental frequency for periods exceeding 1 minute. Classifications: overvoltages undervoltages sustained interruptions An overvoltage (or undervoltage) ) is a 10% or more increase (or decrease) in rms voltage for more than 1 minute. 168
18 Long Duration Voltage Variations In a weak system the switching off of a large load or the energization of a large capacitor bank may result in an overvoltage. An undervoltage is the result of an event, which is a reverse of the event that causes overvoltage. The term brownout is often referred as sustained periods of undervoltage due to utility strategy to reduce power demand. 169
19 Long Duration Voltage Variations When the supply voltage is zero for a period of time in excess of 1 minute, the long duration voltage variation is called sustained interruption. Typical causes of sustained interruptions vary from place to place. Human intervention is required during sustained interruptions for repair and restoration. 170
20 Voltage Imbalance This is the condition in which the voltages of the three phases of the supply are not equal in magnitude or equally displaced in time. The primary cause is the single-phase loads in three-phase circuits. These are however restricted to within 5%. Severe imbalance (greater than 5%) can result during single phasing conditions when the protection circuit opens up one phase of a three-phase supply. 171
21 Classifications: Dc offset harmonics notching Waveform Distortion The major causes of dc offsets are geomagnetic disturbance and half-wave rectification. The offsets due to geomagnetic disturbances are especially severe in higher latitudes. Poor grounding can also result in dc offsets. Effects: Transformer saturation and heating. 172
22 Classifications: Integer harmonics Subharmonics Interharmonics Harmonics For a fundamental frequency of f 0, integer harmonics have frequency components that are integer multiples of f 0, i.e., nf 0, where n is a positive integer. Causes of integer harmonics are power electronic equipment and loads, like ASD, UPS etc. 173
23 Harmonics Subharmonics are those components that are below the fundamental component, i.e., mf 0 for 0 < m < 1. Interharmonics are those components that are above fundamental component but are not integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, i.e., mf 0 for non-integer m > 1. Cycloconverters mainly cause interharmonics. Interharmonics are rather difficult to detect. Harmonics can cause damages to power apparatus and appliances. 174
24 Harmonics (THD) A measure of harmonic content in a signal is the total harmonic distortion (THD). The percentage THD in a voltage is given by THD = n= 2 V where V n denotes the magnitude of the n th harmonic voltage and V 1 is the magnitude of the fundamental voltage 1 V 2 n 175
25 Harmonics Spectrum 176
26 Notching Cause: operation of power electronic converters. Occurs when current commutates from one phase to other causing a momentary short circuit between the two phases. The frequency The maximum voltage components that are during notches associated with notches depends on the are usually very high. system impedance. 177
27 Voltage Fluctuations These are systematic random variations in supply voltages. A very rapid change in the supply voltage is called voltage flicker. This is caused by rapid variations in current magnitude of loads such as arc furnaces in which a large inrush current flows when the arc strikes first causing a dip in the bus voltage. Other customers that are connected to the same bus face regular severe voltage drops. 178
28 Frequency variations These variations are usually caused by rapid changes in the load connected to the system. The maximum tolerable variation in supply frequency is often limited within ± 0.5 Hz. From the nominal frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. The frequency is directly related to the rotational speed of the generators. Thus a sustained operation outside the tolerable frequency range may reduce the life span of turbine blades on the shaft. 179
29 Power Acceptability Curves These curves quantify the acceptability of supply power as a function of duration versus magnitude of bus voltage disturbances. Most popular curve was originally developed by Computer Business Equipment Manufacturers Association (CBEMA) to set limits to the withstanding capabilities of computers. The CBEMA curve has however become a de facto standard for measuring the performance of all types of equipment and power systems. 180
30 CBEMA Curve 181
31 CBEMA Curve In the CBEMA curve there are two traces one for overvoltage and the other for undervoltage. These show the percent bus voltage deviation from the rated voltage against time. The region below the upper trace and above the lower trace is the acceptable range. This region defines the tolerance level. Example an overvoltage of very short duration can be tolerable if it is in the acceptable region. 182
32 PQ Problems Some of the major concerns of both customers and utility are Poor load power factor Harmonic contents in loads Notching in load voltages Dc offset in load voltages Unbalanced loads Supply voltage distortion Voltage sag/swell Voltage flicker 183
33 Load Power Factor A significant drop in the feeder voltage is caused when the magnitude of the load current I s is large. There will also be a large amount of I s 2 R s loss associated with high heat dissipation in the feeder. 184
34 Nonlinear Loads In the distribution system shown, the nonlinear load (Load-2) will cause distortion in voltages of buses 2 and 3 and all the currents. 185
35 Nonlinear Loads 186
36 Effects of Harmonics The presence of harmonics can cause additional losses in induction motors, especially when they are operating close to their rated values, resulting in increased heating. the supply voltage is used for timing purposes in many cases like digital clocks. Power electronic equipment like phase controlled thyristor circuits use the zero crossing of the supply voltage to generate trigger pulses. A distorted voltage waveform can create false triggering of the timing circuits. 187
37 Supply Voltage Disturbance The disturbances in the supply voltage can have an adverse impact on the customers. Examples: Even a small duration voltage interruption can cause relay tripping and stopping a process line resulting in many hours of production loss. Even a short duration outage can cause defects in semiconductor processing. A sustained overvoltage can cause domestic lights to burn out faster and can put stress on capacitors. 188
38 Supply Voltage Disturbance Voltage spikes or transient overvoltage can cause permanent damage on capacitors thereby burning power supply or other semiconductor components of computers, TVs, VCRs and household appliances. Sustained undervoltage or even a few cycle voltage sag can cause motors to stall. Voltage flicker can be very annoying to the human eyes as it causes incandescent lamps to flicker. This can cause headaches, nausea or migraine. 189
39 Custom Power The term Custom Power (CP) pertains to the use of power electronic controllers for power distribution systems. Just as the FACTS controllers improve the reliability and quality of power transmission systems, the custom power enhances the quality and reliability of power that is delivered to customers. Since the custom power devices improve the power quality, they can also be called power quality enhancing devices as well. 190
40 Utility-Customer Interface Let the load connected to Bus-3 3 be unbalanced and nonlinear. Then The feeder current will be unbalanced and distorted. Voltages of Bus-2 2 will also be unbalanced and distorted affecting the loads connected to these buses. (Assumption Bus-1 1 is a stiff bus). 191
41 Utility-Customer Interface - Solutions Customer at Bus-3 3 installs a shunt device to compensate for the unbalance and distortion. Instead the customer pays penalty for not complying. However unbalance and distortion will persist. Alternative: Utility connects a shunt device. Bus-1 1 is a stiff bus, not affected by unbalance or distortion. Therefore place a shunt controller at Bus-2 2 for voltage control. This will correct for upstream current as well. 192
42 Custom Power Devices Custom power devices are of two types those used for isolation & protection and those used for compensation. Network reconfiguring type Static Current Limiter (SCL) Static Circuit Breaker (SCB) Static Transfer Switch (STS) Compensating type Distribution STATCOM (DSTATCOM) Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) 193
43 Custom Power Devices Static Current Limiter (SCL) limits a fault current by quickly inserting a series inductance in the fault path. Static Circuit Breaker (SCB) breaks a faulted circuit much faster than a mechanical circuit breaker. Static Transfer Switch (STS) is connected in the bus tie position when a sensitive load is supplied by two feeders. It protects the load by quickly transferring it from the faulty feeder to the healthy feeder. 194
44 Custom Power Devices Distribution STATCOM (DSTATCOM) this is shunt connected device that can operate in two modes: Current Control: : In this mode the DSTATCOM acts as an active filter, power factor corrector, load balancer etc. These functions are called the load compensation. Voltage Control: : In this mode the DSTATCOM can regulate a bus voltage against any distortion, sag/swell, unbalance and even short duration interruptions. 195
45 Custom Power Devices Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a series compensating device. It is used for protecting a sensitive load that is connected downstream from sag/swell etc. It can also regulate the bus voltage at the load terminal. Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) this device, like the UPFC, consists of two voltage source inverters. The capabilities of this device are still unexplored. However it can simultaneously perform the tasks of DSTATCOM and DVR. 196
46 Static Current Limiter (SCL) An SCL is a parallel connection of an anti-parallel gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) switch with snubbers a current limting inductor a zinc oxide (ZnO( ZnO) ) arrester 197
47 SCL - Operation A GTO can be switched off at any time by applying a negative gate pulse. Therefore it can interrupt a current instantaneously. A thyristor switches off only when the current through it changes polarity. An anti-parallel thyristor switch is in a current limiter will keep on conducting till the next zero crossing irrespective of the instant of occurrence of the fault. This will defeat the purpose for which a current limiter is installed. 198
48 SCL - Operation Under normal (unfaulted( unfaulted) ) operating conditions, the GTOs are gated for full conduction. Once a fault occurs, the GTOs are turned off as soon as the fault is detected. A GTO can respond within a few microseconds. Once the GTOs are turned off, the fault current is diverted to the snubber capacitor that limits the rate of rise in voltage across the GTOs. The voltage across the anti-parallel GTO switch rises until it reaches the clamping level established by the ZnO arrester. 199
49 SCL - Operation The same voltage also appears across the current limiting reactor. Once the clamping level of the voltage is reached, the current across the reactor will rise linearly. This linear rise will continue till it becomes equal to the instantaneous level of current flowing in the line. Thus the current will be limited by total effective series impedance, i.e., by a combination of the impedance of the limiting reactor and the faulted feeder impedance. 200
50 SCL - Operation The peak of the fault current is limited to about 100 A. The peak of fault current can go up to 1000 A. 201
51 SCL Function of Snubbers Without the snubber circuit, the limiting inductor comes in series with the feeder inductance once the GTO switch is turned off. The initial condition of the limiting inductor current is zero, while the feeder current flows through the feeder reactance. However when these two inductance come in series, the current through these two inductances must be same. Therefore the limiting inductor must be forced to instantaneously carry the feeder current. 202
52 SCL Function of Snubbers To achieve this, a large L(di/dt) ) must be applied across the switch thereby causing a damaging voltage spike. In the presence of the snubber circuit, the fault current is diverted to the snubber capacitor once the GTO switch is switched off. The current through the limiting inductor is allowed build up slowly as discussed before. 203
53 Static Circuit Breaker (SCB) The GTOs are the normal current carrying elements. With the detection of a fault, they go through a number of sub-cycle auto reclose operations. For a persistent fault, the GTOs are turned off and the thyristors are turned on. The fault current now starts flowing through the current limiting inductor. The fault current is eventually cut off by blocking the thyristors. 204
54 SCB Alternate Topology The current in the normal (unfaulted( unfaulted) ) state flows through the VCB. With the detection of a fault, simultaneously the GTOs are turned on and an open signal is given to the VCB. For high speed contact parting the VCB uses electromagnetic repulsion. The fault current starts flowing through the GTO switch and when the current is completely commutated, it is interrupted by turning the GTO switch off. 205
55 Coordination Issues with Static Limiting and Transferring Let 1 is an SCB while 4 is a conventional breaker. For a fault downstream from 4, breaker 1 will operate before breaker 4. This will disconnect both faulty and healthy feeders supplied by T 1. A potential installation point of an SSB is the bus-tie location 3. This will require no coordination with any other protection device. 206
56 Coordination Issues with Static Limiting and Transferring Example, for a fault in the transformer T 1 side of the system, the SSB will open the bus tie thereby preventing transformer T 2 from feeding the fault. An SCB can be connected at location 7. A fault on the load side can be quickly isolated by the SCB without affecting the other protective devices. The best position for the placement of a current limiter is at the output of the main incoming transformers, i.e., locations 1 and
57 Coordination Issues with Static Limiting and Transferring The fault at any part of the network will be limited without causing any coordination problem. The current tap settings of the downstream overcurrent relays can then be set at lower values. A limiter at the bus tie location 3 can be most beneficial as it will have lower losses under normal operating conditions. Since the current flowing through this position for a fault at any part of the circuit is maximum, the rating of the device at this location must be very high. 208
58 Requirements of SCL It must limit a short circuit current such that the current does not exceed the interrupting rating of any downstream protecting device. It must maintain a fault current within a specified limit till a downstream device clears the fault. It must allow sufficient fault current to flow such that downstream overcurrent protection devices can isolate the fault. The limiter must reset automatically after a fault clearance. 209
59 Static Transfer Switch (STS) An STS is used for protecting a sensitive load from sag/swell, fault in the preferred feeder. 210
60 STS Functioning Usually the load is supplied by the preferred feeder and the load current flows through the switch Sw 1. When a deep voltage sag or interruption is detected in this feeder, the switch Sw 2 is turned on. Once the load current starts flowing through the switch Sw 2 the switch Sw 1 is turned off. This switching action is called make-before before- break (MBB). 211
61 STS Make-Before- Break (MBB) Operation Load Current Preferred feeder current Alternate feeder current 212
62 STS MBB Operation During Fault The MBB operation of the STS will cause a fault current to be supplied by the alternate feeder before the switch Sw 1 is cut off. The path for this current is indicated by the dotted line. 213
63 STS Incorrect Transfer During Fault The alternate feeder feeds the fault through switches Sw 1 and Sw
64 STS Correct Transfer During Fault The thyristors of the switch Sw 1 are blocked as soon as the fault is detected. The current through switch Sw 1 goes to zero at the next available zero crossing. 215
65 STS Correct Transfer During Fault The thyristors of the switch Sw 2 are gated after the fault current becomes zero. The load current stabilizes within about one cycle. 216
66 Sag/Swell Detection For subcycle transfer, ideally it is desirable to detect any voltage sag/swell almost instantaneously. This however can only be achieved in the case of balanced sags and cannot be achieved for sag in one or two phases. The next best option is to detect this with as little delay as possible. An algorithm is discussed next in which it only takes only two consecutive samples for sag/swell detection. 217
67 Sag/Swell Detection Let three unbalanced voltage waveforms be denoted by v a, v b and v c. Their corresponding phasor values are denoted by V a, V b and V c. The phasor symmetrical components are (subscripts 0, 1 and 2 respectively represent zero, positive and negative sequences) ~ V ~ V ~ V a0 a1 a2 = a a 2 1 a a 2 ~ V ~ V ~ V a b c, a = e j
68 Sag/Swell Detection Let us define the following instantaneous symmetrical components v v v a0 a1 a2 = a a 2 1 a 2 a v v v a b c All the three quantities on the left hand side are time varying. The vector v a2 is complex conjugate of the vector v a1. 219
69 Sag/Swell Detection The instantaneous vectors can be decomposed as v v a0 a1 = = 2 2 j 3 j 3 Then it can be shown that ~ V a0 = ~ H 6, [ ~ ( ~ ) ] He jω t He jω t [ ~ ( ~ ) ] Fe jω t Be jω t ~ ~ F ~ V = and V = a 1 a2 6 ~ B 6 220
70 Sag/Swell Detection The vectors H, F and B can be computed from two consecutive values of the instantaneous vectors v a0 and v a1. These vectors are computed from the instantaneous values of the measured voltages v a, v b and v c. From the vectors H, F and B,, the phasor zero, positive and negative sequence components can be calculated. From the phasor sequence components the health of the system can be determined. 221
71 Sag/Swell Detection The plot shows the transfer operation for an angle unbalance of 3 0 in preferred feeder voltage. 222
72 Sag/Swell Detection The plot shows the transfer operation for an 11% sag in the magnitude of phase-b preferred feeder voltage. 223
73 STS Total Transfer Time The total transfer time is the duration from the inception of voltage sag/swell or fault in the preferred feeder to the load being completely transferred to the alternate feeder. The load circuit parameters also influence the total transfer time. Also the phase difference between the two supplying source and feeder impedance will affect the transfer time. The gating strategy of the switches in both preferred and alternate feeders can play an important role. 224
